I created a sphere primitive and added an image to it through the Surfaces tab - Diffuse Color. I’ve tried .jpg, .bmp and .png files and non of them appear as clear as they do in MS Piant or Gimp.
Is there anything I can do to correct it?

What do you mean as “clear”. Is it out of place? Or faded? If it looks out of place you need to make the image to fit the UV map of the sphere. You can see the UV by switching the camera to the UV view.
